2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YY65 RFF

The most recent MOT test on 29 March 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records to 2021, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean history with no failures or advisories. This represents a very stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the previous owner has been proactive in addressing mechanical wear before it reached a level critical enough to be flagged by a DVSA inspector. With a recorded mileage of 120,481 miles over an 11 year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,953 miles per year. This is a typical usage rate for a car of this age and suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. However, at this mileage, the vehicle has entered a phase where major wear and tear components are likely to require replacement if they have not been addressed already. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the buyer should focus on calendar based maintenance and physical wear that may not trigger an MOT failure. It is essential to verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical failure points for this model at this mileage. Inspect the tyres for sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even if the tread remains legal. The 12V battery should be tested for health, and the engine bay should be inspected for oil seepage from gaskets or leaks from the power steering system. During the test drive, the buyer should listen for knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which typically degrade around this mileage. The braking system should be evaluated for any shudder under deceleration or signs of binding calipers that could cause overheating. Finally, check for any unusual vibrations through the steering wheel and ensure the exhaust system is structurally sound and free from significant corrosion, as these components often deteriorate silently between official inspections.
